Review of 'Signing their rights away' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

This is not a page turner. What this is really useful for is a bathroom book. Small, digestible chunks that let you read a little and put the book down. What this book does is present brief biographical sketches (around 4-5 pages each) of each of the signers of the U.S. Constitution. This is fine for what it is, and I enjoyed reading it, but don't go into it with the wrong idea. If you go into this looking for a serious work of historical analysis you will be very disappointed. At the end is the Constitution itself, and a section of trivia about it.
